Exclusive Song Lyrics And Lyric Video For ‘Lonely Light’ By Brendan McCreary And Kevin Murphy From ‘Songs Of Defiance Season 2’ Soundtrack!

‘Songs Of Defiance Season 2’ Soundtrack Is Out Now On Lakeshore Records – Download Here: [iTunes]

Lonely Light
Music by Brendan McCreary
Lyrics by Kevin Murphy

Tiny morning dawning
From a lonely sun
We were born in twilight
We will die beneath the one

Viaziga – how I long for Sulos
Viaziga – such pallid rays
Viaziga – these nights so barren
Turning in to washed out days

Now you lie beside me
I can feel your breath
You rescind my journey
Your love ransoms me from death

Viaziga – we will bloom together
Viaziga – beneath dark skies
Viaziga – we’ll warm eachother
Votan starlight in our eyes

Odvikan’ Yogzahit – now my boots are polished
Howvrezhitanni – and my weapon too
Zatsek kiv nimisen – I prepare for battle
Verlirayan peshaya – I will win this world for you

Viaziga – limash’ inkilehet – Lonely Light – we will march on Lima
Viaziga – peru pershayat – Lonely Light – we will take Peru
Viaziga – diokshin bomvaset – Lonely Light – I will conquer darkness
Lewsikizowka tewse – I will bring twin suns to you

Viaziga – Lonely Light!

Odvikan’ Yogzahit
Howvrezhitanni
Zatsek kiv nimisen
Verlirayan peshaya

Happy Birthday Bear McCreary!

Today we send birthday wishes to Bear McCreary, accomplished composer of The Boy movie, Syfy’s “Defiance” series, Starz’s “Outlander” series, and many more!  By the age of 24, McCreary was launched into pop culture history with his groundbreaking score to Syfy’s hit series “Battlestar Galactica,” for which he composed “the most innovative music on TV today” (Variety). It “fits the action so perfectly, it’s almost devastating: a sci-fi score like no other.” (NPR)

Io9.com declared Bear McCreary one of the Ten Best Science Fiction Composers of all time, listing him alongside legends John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith and Bernard Herrmann. In addition to earning his first Emmy® Award in 2013, McCreary was voted “Composers’ Choice Composer of the Year – Television” for 2013 by his peers in ASCAP, the first award of its kind.
An Emmy® Award winner for Da Vinci’s Demons, Bear recently earned his fourth Emmy nomination, his first for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Drama), with Outlander.
